This National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) project grant, awarded to North Carolina State University, is focused on enhancing privacy in federated learning, which is an AI approach enabling knowledge sharing without compromising data privacy. The $220,258 grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, aims to address vulnerabilities in federated learning schemes that may leak sensitive information through improper privacy definitions or malicious attacks. The project will develop new privacy measures and defense strategies to protect against data reconstruction attacks from seemingly benign participants. By advancing the state of privacy protections in federated learning, this project seeks to enable safer knowledge sharing and collaboration in critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and public services where data privacy is paramount. No subawards are planned under this grant.
